Depending on who you ask, Eternal Strands is either one of the year’s most underrated games, or a laudable experiment that doesn’t quite work out. Either way, you won’t find much disagreement that the game is at least interesting. And whichever camp you fall in, the first free DLC for Eternal Strands could be a good reason to head back for another round with developer Yellow Brick Games’ intriguing first release.
Titled Stargazer, the free DLC adds a heap of entirely new activities to the RPG, plus improvements to some of the issues it had at launch. The big addition is a whole new map to explore, complete with its own boss. The spooky purple-hued Starlight Cape opens a new area for protagonist Bryn to clamber around, with some eye-catching features like the ruins of an observatory on top of a rocky cliff. The new map should test Brynn’s climbing skills, as Yellow Brick Games says it focuses on “vertical challenges.”
